What is ‘Wear Red Day’?

Wear Red Day takes place this year on 21st October. The day is just one of the many ways that people can get involved in supporting Show Racism the Red Card.

The aim of the day is to show a united front against racism by wearing something red and donating £1 to the campaign. It can be as simple as a red tshirt, or you could be more creative and design a unique outfit.
